-From HDF's manpage:
-
- hdf - Hierarchical Data Format library
-
-Description:
- HDF is a multi-object file format that facilitates the
- transfer of various types of scientific data between
- machines and operating systems. Machines currently sup-
- ported include the Cray, Convex, HP, Vax, Sun, IBM
- RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, and IBM PC comput-
- ers. HDF allows self-definitions of data content and easy
- extensibility for future enhancements or compatibility
- with other standard formats. HDF includes Fortran and C
- calling interfaces,and utilities to prepare raw image of
- data files or for use with other NCSA software. The HDF
- library contains interfaces for storing and retrieving
- compressed or uncompressed 8-bit and 24-bit raster images
- with palettes, n-Dimensional scientific datasets and
- binary tables. An interface is also included that allows
- arbitray grouping of other HDF objects.
